In 1996, renovations were completed in the Volunteer House. Much of the work was done by volunteers from Virginia. The garage was converted for a library for the Harrisburg branch of the Northeast Baptist School of Ministry. A classroom was added for that program. A dedication service for the Volunteer House was held on Saturday, October 5, 1996. The classroom was named “The Virginia Room” in recognition of contributions from Virginia and work done by people from that state. The moving of the classes to the Volunteer House freed valuable space in the state office building for the use of the Missions Division.
